Two years old!

Today is Scarlett's second birthday. We've had a fun day full of gymnastics class, lunch at Chick-Fil-A with Chloe and now a much needed nap. Tonight she gets her favorite food (spaghetti, even though I'm sick of it!). I have to say that I'm glad she's not quite aware that it's her birthday. I'm not ready for the demands that will certainly issue once she does know it's "her" day!

She had her two year appt last week and she's healthy as a healthy horse. (Never really understood "healthy as a horse" because horses get sick, too...) She's 31.2 lbs and 34 inches tall. She only had one shot this time and she didn't even flinch! She just accepted her Dora stickers and told the nurse "Tank oo". What a good girl!!

Second birthday pictures are to come once she wakes up! I don't dare risk waking her up!!

Happy Birthday Scarlett!!!!!!!!!!!! Now no spoiling her, if you give her one or two things she'll appreciate them and won't get demanding over the years. I know you'll set her up well!

I feel like posting!

I haven't posted in awhile, and I still have no pictures to share, but I thought I'd put a few words down anyway. (Let me take that back, I have pictures to share, but I'm not the in-love-with-my-pregnant-body type, so any picture you see of me will be from the neck up.) Last night we took Christmas photos at my parent's house for their Christmas cards. (Again, I was seen only from the neck up:) ) It was so much fun. I forget how much fun my family has when we're all together. Jimmy took it upon himself to set the room up like a photography studio, even though Mom was just taking the picture with her tripod and self timer. Mom made delicious chili and corn bread and we all sat around and basically showered Chloe with attention. Juan and I had to leave early because he's sick (sinus infection) so I had to get home and baby him. I told him it was pretty funny that his 7 mos. pregnant wife was hauling herself off the couch to get him his little face warmy t...

She's here!

Scarlett Eve Valdes was born Saturday, February 17th at 10:34 AM. She was 8 lbs, .02 oz and 20 inches long!! It was a pretty awful labor, for both of us... I went into labor Thursday night, got sent home, and then at noon the next day realized that this was serious!! I waited until Juan got home from work and then we went to the hospital around 3:00 PM. I was in pretty heavy labor from then until she was born the next morning. Not very fun! I ran a pretty bad (and unexplainable) temperature while in labor, I think I peaked at around 102 degrees. Because of this, the baby was wisked away to the nursery for observation. Luckily she does not have any signs of infection, but she does have jaundice, so they're keeping her under the blue lights. It's hard (hard being a mild term, it's the most awful thing I've ever experienced) being home without her but I know she's getting good care and hopefully she can come home soon. Meanwhile, Juan and I have pretty much moved into ...

Scarlett's home!

In her little hospital bed. Scarlett Eve Valdes-- snoozing, as usual! Daddy and Scarlett (still in the hospital) Mommy and Scarlett (please ignore my huge head!) Nana and Scarlett Daddy and Scarlett again Finally going home!! yayy!! Scarlett came home from the hospital on Thursday night. We're soo happy to have her home, and she's proving her health by porking right up! She's put on two ounces since her birth weight and cries enough to let us know her lungs definitely work. We had a rocky night the first night, but last night she impressed us by sleeping straight through until 3 AM and then falling back asleep around 6 and letting us sleep in until 9. Not bad for her second night at home! We just can't get enough of her! Here's some pictures, not the best ones but hopefully more will come soon. (Once I work up the nerve to put her in cute outfits. Right now I'm too chicken to put anything over her head. She screams like we're cutting out her liver or s...
